Apparent per capita food and nutrient intake in six remote Australian Aboriginal communities using the 'store-turnover' method is described. The method is based on the analysis of community-store food invoices. The face validity of the method supports the notion that, under the unique circumstances of remote Aboriginal communities, the turnover of foodstuffs from the community store is a useful measure of apparent dietary intake for the community as a whole. In all Aboriginal communities studied, the apparent intake of energy, sugars and fat was excessive, while the apparent intake of dietary fibre and several nutrients, including folic acid, was low. White sugar, flour, bread and meat provided in excess of 50 per cent of the apparent total energy intake. Of the apparent high fat intake, fatty meats contributed nearly 40 per cent in northern coastal communities and over 60 per cent in central desert communities. Sixty per cent of the apparent high intake of sugars was derived from sugar per se in both regions. Compared with national Australian apparent consumption data, intakes of sugar, white flour and sweetened carbonated beverages were much higher in Aboriginal communities, and intakes of wholemeal bread, fruit and vegetables were much lower. Results of the store-turnover method have important implications for community-based nutrition intervention programs.
本文描述了采用“库存周转率”方法对澳大利亚六个偏远原住民社区人均食物和营养素摄入量的估算情况。该方法基于对社区商店食品发票的分析。该方法的表面效度支持了这样一种观点，即在偏远原住民社区的特殊情况下，社区商店食品的周转率是衡量整个社区表观饮食摄入量的一个有用指标。在所研究的所有原住民社区中，能量、糖和脂肪的表观摄入量过高，而膳食纤维和包括叶酸在内的几种营养素的表观摄入量较低。白糖、面粉、面包和肉类提供了超过表观总能量摄入量的50%。在表观高脂肪摄入量中，肥肉在北部沿海社区占近40%，在中部沙漠社区占60%以上。在这两个地区，表观高糖摄入量的60%均来自糖本身。与澳大利亚全国表观消费数据相比，原住民社区糖、白面粉和加糖碳酸饮料的摄入量要高得多，而全麦面包、水果和蔬菜的摄入量则要低得多。库存周转率方法的结果对基于社区的营养干预计划具有重要意义。
